GLJ is finally back from repair, looking as good as new
the wing is a repro from VW Heritage (UK)... but a very good one, the
fit and quality is spot on. I tried to get a NOS one, but it was
almost impossible, and far too expensive (over UK£900 for a pair)
the front quarter was carefully panel beaten back into shape, and even
from the inside of the quarter (which is still original paint) it is
hard to tell it was ever bent
orange spot is temporary until I find a clear one, but at least it is
the correct type (Wipac 470)
I have to T-Cut and polish the rest of the car now to match the
shine!!!
I am really very happy now
